I suspect AI is behind this fantastically innovative idea.

Who’s Deciding Where the Bombs Drop in Iran? Maybe Not Even Humans. Behind last week’s scrum between the Trump administration and Anthropic lies a deeper question of how warfare is conducted—and whether accountability even exists anymore.

My take.

This is important & I don't want my response to get buried as a comment. Humans make mistakes under pressure. But umans can & should also be held accountable for them when they go beyond simple correctable errors & create catastrophic results like war crimes. 1/

A fantastic project in which I apparently played a miniscule role via the GAGA consortium.

And a good use for AI, unlike stealing people's photos or artwork to create slop.

Tranquille connecté, en train de publier sur l'insta de l'orga, et pouf, déco de tout, et ça me dit que je peux faire appel. Je clique, je fais un captcha, je fais un selfie vidéo pour prouver que je suis pas un robot, et une minute plus tard, on me dit que mon Facebook/Insta de 18 ans est suspendu.

‘An epidemic of suffering’: Why are conservationists breaking down? In December 2024, Rachel Graham, executive director of the Belize-based marine nonprofit MarAlliance, posted on LinkedIn that she knew “5 wildlife & conservation scientists who have taken their lives ...

This is such a good article for anyone working in conservation.

One thing overlooked imo is how the size of organizations play a role, with people in small NGOs working twice as much for twice as less with little protections. First hand experience here 😉

Hey @inaturalist.bsky.social something super weird is happening with my app on Android. While my observations and photos are of insects and herps, it's showing birds as thumbnails. We know birds aren't real so is this some kind of birder conspiracy to replace all iNat records with birbs?!

When I was observing the conflict on the Cambodia-Thai border in 2011, they were using the same 155mm artillery shell, including NR-269 DPICM containing M42 cluster submunitions. It is likely that there are thousands of unexploded munitions littering both sides of the border that'll need clearing.
